TEENS ARE RAPIDLY getting over Facebook. Why? Because their parents got in on the game, and now it’s not cool any more.
If your parents are making it difficult to carry out your online social life and you wish there was a way to cut them out while sparing their feelings, you’ll never guess – there’s an app for that.
Called Family Matters, it’ll stop your family butting in on Facebook by posting two statuses for you – one for friends only and one for your folks. Your friends won’t be able to see your family’s mortifying comments, and your family will not see anything embarrassing posted by your friends.
